  • Laguna Phuket Marathon on 10 June 2012

  • Race Report: California International Marathon 2011

    The Califonia International Marathon is a point to point, net downhill race.

Last week, I received an invitation to join the Laguna Phuket International Marathon (LPIM) slated for June 12, 2011.  Without batting an eyelash, I said YES! – Laguna Phuket, Here I Come! – Then, I realized that it conflicted with another race I had registered for… Then, I [...]
